Im in a mess. My 3rd marriage has just broken up & my husband has left. I have my own house which I bought before I met him. My exh2 has a charge on the property for 25% of the net equity less mortgage & costs. This was due last November & despite the house being on the market since April 2011 & reducing its price 4 times still no offers & 8% interest is being added to the debt. The original plan was that my current husband & I would buy a new house together when this one sold. He has left for a number of reasons I don't want to go into now & is saying that although he will pay generous maintenance for our 2 year old DD I cannot claim anything else from him. He owns a house in Spain although this has dropped massively in value in the last 2 years & has a successful IT company & a pension. I really need a lump sum to pay ex2 off so that I can remain in my house (I have 4DCs aged 19-2) as it will be hard for me to buy anything else on my own on my salary after my ex2 has his share. I have got a solicitors appt in 2 weeks but v worried. Any advice?
